BA Production Arts

Kaija enjoys making anything. Carving lime wood spoons, creating whale song with bedroom instruments, silver-soldering an armature or adventuring through a rhododendron to light a tree. She has been awarded the Doris Dibden prize for showing exceptional flair during her training at the school. She is specialising in Animation in her final year at BOVTS and is currently working on a stop-motion short film she co-wrote and designed. After graduating she hopes to work in and around Bristol’s animation industry.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
